Carving in the Style of Ray Pohja with Jim Linnell

About This Video

Part history lesson, part leather craving workshop, this is the third in a series of workshops that we host examining the different styles of some of the masters and discussing what makes them each unique.

One of the measures of greatness in the world of leather carvers is how other great craftsmen regard them. Ray Pohja is one of those great ones. Don King considered him the greatest tool maker of his generation. Chuck Smith talked frequently about his influence. The list of great craftsmen who regarded him as one of the greatest is endless. In this recording of an online class, Jim Linnell shares the carving style that Ray made famous at Porters Saddlery.

Join Jim Linnell and Michael Magnus as they explore the history, styles, and techniques of Ray Pohja.

This is a recording of a live, online class, so viewers benefit from both audience questions and workshop moderation.
